Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
We met Pat and Marlo about 32 years ago. We were just starting our company and INTRUST Bank recommended their office as an accountant for us to use. Well, we found out that Pat kept that office in check and kept Marlo out of trouble! Way to go Pat! We thought a lot of Pat. Her struggles and challenges with cancer are history now. She is truly in a better place now. God be with Pat and with Marlo and the rest of her family and friends.
Pat was my long-lost cousin, the daughter of Uncle Abe and Ann. Although we hadn;t communicated in many many years, I remember her fondly. The most memorable moment was her wedding, where her beauty and vitality so impressed her little cousin that I spilled juice all over my mother’s dress. We so enjoyed staying at the big, warm farmhouse in Goessel! It’s too bad Daddy and Abe didn’t see each other more so that my sisters Pam and Cindy and I could have known our wonderful cousins better. Now it’s too late, but it’s clear that Pat had a wonderful family, friends and, of course, faith. We will certainly miss knowing her better.
Pat will be greatly missed by all her friends at McDonalds- employees and customers. She was always positive even when we knew that she wasn’t doing good. Pat was always kind and friendly to me and made me feel like she was glad to see me. I feel like there is a hole in my day without seeing her. I know she is better off and she was ready to go. My prayers are for your famly. God bless you.
Lori, Anthony and family….. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please know that I am thinking of you during this time.
